Final Project: Presentation Dates

Presentation Dates From Today's Class--Be Sure to Look for your Class Period!!!!
Students must present on the date they are scheduled for, but do not have to present in the order they are listed for the presentation date. Please conference with other presenters to determine the order that you will present in on that day.

Your worksheet and presentation due dates mean that those items are due on that date DURING your class period. Items that are emailed or handed in AFTER your class period will be counted as late and you will lose points in that section of your rubric.

HW Reading 27 of 28 on Latin America


Read: Readings 27 or Reading 28 (choose one) in the Latin America Cold War Packetpacket distributed in class.
Task: Annotate as you read; complete Cornell Notes for both sections. Guidelines provided below
Due: Friday, May 3, 2013

Annotation Guidelines:

1. Read FIRST, then annotate
2. You must make at least one annotation note per paragraph. I recommend annotations that summarize each paragraph.
3. DO NOT highlight until you have read the entire paragraph. Once you have read the paragraph, then you can go back and select the items that are worthy of being highlighted for later reference.
4. Underline any words that may be key vocabulary terms or words that you need to look up
5. Developing your own annotation system is acceptable and encouraged (ex: green highlight = vocabulary; blue highlight= important people; [brackets around a sentence]= thesis or big idea; *star= this was discussed in class)

Cornell Notes Guidelines:

1. Read FIRST, then decide which ideas to record in your Cornell Notes
2. The size of the space that I have provided for you should indicate to you how many or how few notes you should include.
3. This is where you should record details that support the heading. Your readings will be collected in class, so these notes will your primary reference for class discussions. 
4. As we progress through the year, you should get better and better at identifying which details are worth recording for later reference.
5. Generate your own Cornell Notes pages using the link on the side bar --->
